The moment most buyers get it wrong
You've found a property with a big backyard. Your buyers agent says "great granny flat potential." The sales agent nods. You exchange contracts.
Three months later, your builder tells you the rear setback is 600mm too narrow, there's a drainage easement through the middle of the yard, and the slope means a slab will cost $40,000 more than quoted.
An inspection from $350 inc GST before exchange would have told you all of this.
Built for the exchange window. Book in minutes.

What we assess on every inspection
Our inspectors assess eight critical factors that determine whether a granny flat can be legally and practically built on a property under NSW SEPP 2021.
Zoning
Confirm the property sits in an R2 or R3 zone that permits a secondary dwelling under NSW SEPP 2021.
Setbacks
Measure front, rear, and side setbacks to confirm a granny flat can be positioned without a DA.
Site Coverage
Calculate the combined footprint of all structures against the maximum 50% site coverage rule.
Slope & Drainage
Assess gradient and stormwater paths that could make construction impractical or cost-prohibitive.
Easements
Identify drainage, sewer, or right-of-way easements that restrict where a structure can be built.
Service Connections
Check proximity to water, sewer, and electrical connections to estimate connection costs.
Lot Size
Confirm the lot meets the 450m² minimum and 12m width requirement under complying development.
Council Overlays
Flag heritage, flood, bushfire, or biodiversity overlays that may complicate or prevent approval.
Three steps. 48 hours. Certainty.
We've designed the process to fit within the typical due diligence window between exchange and settlement.
